Chapter 64 -64: Asking for Gifts (1)_1
Mo Feng and Mo Lei looked at each other in confusion before turning their puzzled gazes to Yang Mengchen.
“Silver! You didn’t think I was going to give it to you for free, did you?” said Yang Mengchen with annoyance. “Seeing as you’re quite likable, I’ll give you a discount, two hundred taels of silver per bottle.”
“We’ll buy it!” The two hurriedly took out a silver note and handed it to Yang Mengchen.
Nangong Ling Fei curled his lips. Clearly, it was the Yang brothers who injured Mo Feng and Mo Lei, yet she had the nerve to accept silver so righteously. Ms. Yang really was a money-grubber!

Watching Yang Mengchen happily accept the silver note, Long Xuan Mo’s eyes held a hint of an indulgent smile.
Afterward, Long Xuan Mo and Nangong Ling Fei protected Hua Ziyu as they took their leave, and Yang Mengchen and the others returned to the Luo family’s sideyard.
After dinner, Yang Mengchen first helped her brothers create Invigorating Pills for Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo, then stayed up late to rush through the sewing of clothes.
This time Aunty Luo had come specifically to visit her, and she also brought greetings and gifts from Grandpa Luo, Grandma Luo, and Second Brother Luo.
During dinner, Aunty Luo mentioned that she would be returning to the capital in two days to arrange some things and then she planned to live in town to keep Uncle Luo company. Although there was only one day left, Yang Mengchen still intended to personally sew two sets of summer clothes, socks, and shoes for Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo and to make two belts and purses for Second Brother Luo as return gifts.
Suddenly, she heard the animals’ voices outside the window saying “The Prince is here.” Yang Mengchen put down the brocade in her hands and looked up to the open window. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before she saw Long Xuan Mo, dressed in a dark cyan brocade robe, leap through the window.
Ever since she ate that Exotic Fruit, she had been able to see through people’s hearts, yet she was the only one who couldn’t decipher Long Xuan Mo’s thoughts. But she knew full well that he was a dangerous man.
“What brings the Prince here so late at night?” asked Yang Mengchen, frowning slightly.
For a prince to climb through a woman’s window at night, truly it was an eye-opener for her.
Moving to sit in the chair next to Yang Mengchen, Long Xuan Mo glanced at the brocade on the table. “Who are you sewing these clothes for?” he asked.
That day he had inadvertently heard Uncle Shi’s wife bragging to Lady Xiao about the new light purple clothes embroidered with budding Mo Lan that the young girl had sewn for her. At the moment, he couldn’t suppress the jealousy and envy in his heart, which was why he had come by late at night.
“For Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo,” Yang Mengchen said, too busy to deal with Long Xuan Mo and eager to send him away quickly. “If the Prince has no other business, I won’t see you out!” With that, she continued to focus on sewing the summer clothes.
So the young girl was not delighted to see him and was in a hurry to get rid of him?
This realization made Long Xuan Mo narrow his eyes displeasingly. However, as he saw the soft, water-like gaze in her eyes reflecting the fluttering candlelight, her earnest and focused expression, and her pale face glowing softly in the light, his dark annoyance vanished without a trace, replaced by joy and warmth.
“Prepare a few gifts for me as well,” Long Xuan Mo said, his voice becoming unconsciously softer.
Turning her head, Yang Mengchen quietly observed Long Xuan Mo.
“I returned to the capital without an edict, and my father the Emperor will undoubtedly be furious. Unfortunately, I had no time to prepare gifts because of the rush to get here, which will make my parents sad and disappointed. That’s why I’m asking for your help,” he explained.
Long Xuan Mo would never admit that he was jealous of the girl sewing clothes for others by hand.
Yang Mengchen looked at Long Xuan Mo and remained silent, but her twinkling eyes clearly said: What does this have to do with me?
“Didn’t you say today that you wanted to properly show filial piety to your parents?” Long Xuan Mo said emotionlessly. “I also want to show filial piety to the Emperor and the Empress. If the gifts I present to them are to their liking, perhaps the Emperor won’t be angry anymore and won’t blame me for returning without an edict, and the Empress will be pleased as well. It’s just that the time is too short, and I can’t prepare the gifts.”
Yang Mengchen remained silent.
